Four Works combined into one book in order to save money...{Plus a Bonus Book} -Musical Quotes from Some Famous People. -'Some Twenty and One Poemas'. -Lyrics are NOT Poems -The Spontaneous Effusions of Robert Mulderrig. -What? More Spontaneous Effusions from Robert Mulderrig {Bonus Edition}. ------------------- "Musical Quotes from Some Famous People"; The Author has picked up these simple and mindful quotes "All Along The Way", whilst on His Sojourn upon Terra Firma. From Bach to Beethoven, Chopin and Copland, Durante to Goethe, Hugo and an Italian Proverb. From Landon to Longfellow, Luther, Martin, Mendelssohn, & Moore.

Mulderrig as Examples of how Lyrics & Poetry are NOT the same. One is with The Music, the other cannot, such is The Essence of The Mysteries. Long before The Spoken, and written word, The Song has filled The Wind with its purposeful beauty. As a child, I "came up with Tunes" for no apparent reason, or cause. Without a Cause, no Effect? Perhaps, but with each Affect, there is Causation; and thusly The Path of One's Life is altered... ---------------- The creation of 'Twenty One and One Half Poemas' was purely a Happenstance.

No other Treatise, written by a Composer, for his Fellow Composers, will ever compare with "Melopoeia: A Treatise concerning The Art of Composing Melodies." ...Enjoy...

This book presents new material and shines fresh light on the under-explored historical and legal evidence about the use of the doctrine of discovery in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. North America, New Zealand and Australia were colonised by England under an international legal principle that is known today as the doctrine of discovery. When Europeans set out to explore and exploit new lands in the fifteenth through to the twentieth centuries, they justified their sovereign and property claims over these territories and the indigenous peoples with the discovery doctrine. This legal principle was justified by religious and ethnocentric ideas of European and Christian superiority over the other cultures, religions, and races of the world. The doctrine provided that newly-arrived Europeans automatically acquired property rights in the lands of indigenous peoples and gained political and commercial rights over the inhabitants. The English colonial governments and colonists in North America, New Zealand and Australia all utilised this doctrine, and still use it today to assert legal rights to indigenous lands and to assert control over indigenous peoples. Written by indigenous legal academics - an American Indian from the Eastern Shawnee Tribe, a New Zealand Maori (Ngati Rawkawa and Ngai Te Rangi), an Indigenous Australian, and a Cree (Neheyiwak) in the country now known as Canada, Discovering Indigenous Lands provides a unique insight into the insidious historical and contemporary application of the doctrine of discovery.
